PRESENTING a very RARE Early 19C (or possibly even earlier) Ornate Middle Eastern Bronze Bin.

We are of the opinion that this large bin/bucket/planter or water pail is from the very end of the 18th Century or early 19th Century, circa 1800-20.

The patina, natural oxidization, design and style, are consistent with this opinion.

The bin is made of a brass, copper and zinc combination to make a bronze effect.

It has been hand chased and engraved all over, with repousse work depicting floral and vine motif’s and various animals including deer and camels.

It also depicts various human-esque depictions of men and deities.

It is very ‘Islamic’ or ‘Moorish’ in style and we are of the opinion that it most likely from the Middle East, namely Egypt or Saudi Arabia or Persia.

We are of the opinion that it is ‘Egyptian’ because one of the ‘deity’ depictions is of the Egyptian God ‘Anubis’ (half man/half Jackal).

At one time it had a handle, as is evidenced by 2 holes under the rim.
